GLOBAL CITIZENS’ CURRICULUM CHALLENGE TEAM
“Through being involved in 21C, I can see how the curriculum we have been co-creating broadens students’ learning beyond their traditional degrees. As a humanities student, I have encountered the STEM disciplines in a new way. Adding those insights to my learning capabilities means I can be ready for a future in which those integrative skills are needed. It feels like a radical educational movement” - Sameer Hifazat, 21C Global Citizens, Student Curriculum Partner
The 21C Global Citizens (GC) Curriculum Challenge Team develops learning experiences in which students are locally informed and globally engaged, culturally competent, adept communicators, and stewards of our Western Sydney community.
